Hi, i am after buying this lister petter engine can someone tell tell me what model is it

Looks to be an SR1, they are fairly common however there are so many similarities with LD LR SL that more detail will be needed.

That is a clockwise rotation marine propulsion unit. Uncommon. SR1

Excellent thank you for your info.can i mount a 2.5 gallon diesel tank on it and what starter would be suitable for this as you can see from the pictures it has a starter pocket on the flywheel housing

Lister made starter motors for the engines so you need a CLOCKWISE rotation starter. There is also after market high torque starters. Some need a spacer to be fitted along with the starter. Also you will need an alternator to charge the battery and asimple switch.
If you have a parts manual for your engine it might offer a part # for the starter motor, this will give you something to look for.

Affirmative... need either a Lucas or Delco starter CW rotation. The correct Delco will bolt up without spacer (but with slight clearance grind of its mounting cone)... some of the Lucas units used a thin spacer, uncertain on the single cylinder model Lucas though. A third option was a Prestolite starter, but I have not seen any available (except used) in a very long time. Bear in mind also, that the SR may have the starter boss in the housing but won't necessarily be fitted with the flywheel ring gear. Take a look inside to confirm.
